Burning Up
Today has probably been the hottest day we’ve had all year. I’m not usually one to complain about hot weather, because I am not a fan of cold weather at all. But just this once, I think I might make an exception.
It didn’t help that today was the day of Pumpkin’s Girl Scouts awards ceremony. As usual, I waited until the last minute to get things done, including ironing the patches on her sash. I spent about an hour doing that this afternoon, and it wasn’t pleasant. We don’t have an air conditioner, and I couldn’t turn the fan toward where I was working because it kept blowing stuff around. So it felt like a sauna in the kitchen. If I had to do that every day, I wouldn’t need Apidexin to lose weight!
Then I realized that I didn’t have any shorts or capris to wear to the ceremony. The coolest thing I could find to wear was a black sleeveless dress. Black isn’t exactly known for keeping one cool, but it was very lightweight. So I got it out to wear, and I took my shower shortly before leaving. I didn’t dry my hair, because I wanted it to remain damp so it would help keep me cool. I knew it would be dry enough to be presentable by the time we got there, because Hubby always insists on leaving the windows down instead of running the AC in the truck.
Luckily it was pretty cool in the auditorium where they had it. But it was still hot out when we left. As soon as I got home, I put on a pair of pajama shorts and a t-shirt, turned the fan on, and opened a couple more windows. According to the thermostat, it was over 80 degrees in here.
I hope the warm weather continues. Really, I do. I guess today was just a bit of a shock, considering how cool it’s been so far this year.
